Why consensus could be wrong
The consensus may underestimate Brookfield's ability to manage costs effectively, leading to a smaller loss than expected.
Supporting evidence

Options pricing indicates a larger potential move, suggesting that the market may be overly cautious.
Key risk

This quarter's performance is critical as it will reveal whether Brookfield can maintain its operational efficiency and revenue amidst market pressures.
Bull confirmed if
A smaller-than-expected EPS loss, ideally closer to $-0.25, would confirm the bull case.
